Finding You
One hundred and one
Lifetimes seem a pittance
To seek and find
True enlightenment...
Here I am once more
In a mortal garment
Adorned with an impulse
An echo of Your Call...
Still, I search
Not finding You
Because I look for You
In all the wrong places...
A deep longing in
My heart awakens
Intensity and purpose
To seek Your Face...
All outside is cold
And darkness surrounds me
With the touch of
Empty desolation...
Each hint I pry open
Reveals a piece of the
Mosaic interwoven with
A glimpse of forgetfulness...
Still, I search and search
Like a blind man
Grasping at the touch
Of emptiness...
And time and space
Go on swirling
In the places I trod
Distracted and distracting...
So many wrong turns
And cul-de-sacs
To reconcile what's fake
And notice the authentic...
Time slips away
And space seduces
My good intentions
With vain and misty forms...
Only finding You
In dreams of immortality
As I abruptly exit this
Mortal coil once more...
Glimpses of nirvana
Can be alluring
But where do I go
Even as I am but a seed...
Finding You only as I fall
Into a deeper sleep
Unhindered by
The shutters of a mortal shell...
If this is the way
To find the inner path
Can the Kingdom of
Heaven be found?
I retreat from the
World outside only
To reach within for
A brief moment of inner peace...
Beyond all restless
Strife to find meaning
In a deeper peace
In certain stillness...
Here You await in silence
In all-abiding profoundness
Beyond my little self
To set me free...
Thus my longing
Helps in my finding You
And my journey ends
With ecstasy unending...
For I have finally
Come home to You
My one true Love:
The First-Cause of my cause...
Only to rest for
A while and then return
To my journey
Wandering seeking...
For Love gathers love
In the glimpses of
Immortality in realms
Where light scatters darkness...
Vivid stillness dances
As Love lives life
For life is the dance of Love
Ad infinitum...
